Beginning immediately, all EPC and BEAR System users will log in through \u201cOne Portal\u201d \u2013 a new sign-in system that requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) during the sign in process.\u00a0 On Monday, USAC sent an e-mail to every e-mail address associated with a current EPC or BEAR log-in and if you received that e-mail, you can now set up your One Portal account.\u00a0 The set up process requires several steps and I encourage you to use the attached One Portal\/MFA Set Up Guide to walk you through the process.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this transition to the One Portal log-in was specifically to add MFA in order to implement required added security of USAC applications and systems.\u00a0 By now, I\u2019m sure most of you have used MFA for other online systems such as banking, bill paying, etc. and the One Portal MFA is nearly identical as it requires the user to enter two or more separate pieces of information, such as a user password and a validation code that is e-mailed or texted to the user, in order to gain access.<\/p>\n
